Just a quick weekend dose since I was missing AnSh sorely
Shiv's Mystery Mrs.
Returning from the school, a happy smile crept to Anandi's lips as she saw Shiv's Scorpio parked outside the entrance of the CH. So he is back from Jaipur, she thought with a surge of excited nervousness gripping her heart."Aaj main aapse apne dil ki baat kah kar hi rahungi Shiv" she sighed softly with legs pacing up towards the hall.
"Choti ma Shiv aa gaye na...kahan pe hain kahin dikhayi nahin de rahe" she gasped, curiously scanning the room for a sight of him.
"Jee han aa gaye...par aapko kya farak padhta hai Anandi bhabhi. Chahe bhaiya aayein ya na ayein, Aapka sara concern to bas apne ex-husband aur unki family ke liye hi reserved hai na" Sanchi's taunt made Anandi feel irritated at her.
"Sanchi tum hameshan aisa kyun kehti ho. Main haveli isliye jati hoon kyunki woh mera parivar hai.Meri zindagi ki har taqleef mein mera saath diya hai unhone.Yahan tak ki agar woh log na hote to shayad main kabhi apni zindagi ki sabse khubsurat khushi se rubaru na ho pati. Tumhare bhaiya se. Isliye jati hoon main wahan.Na ki isliye kyunki woh mere ex-husband ka ghar hai." Sanchi gawked Anandi dumbly as she gave her an earful while Meenu proudly smiled at her intrepid daughter in-law.
"Oh to aapko ulte jawab dena bhi ata hai....I must say bahut kuch sikha ke bheja hai apki family ne aapko"
"Enough Sanchi! Ye kya tareeka hai apni bhabhi se baat karne ka. Tum Anandi ko kah rahi ho usse Shiv ki chinta nahin. Aur tum jo itni zor se chilla rahi ho. Tumhein pata hai na Shiv ki tabeyiat theek nahin aur woh araam kar raha hai. Phir bhi" as soon as Anandi heard Shiv wasn't well, she forgot all about Sanchi.
"Choti Ma kya hua Shiv ko...phone par to unhone kuch nahin bataya" she was becoming panicky now.
"Beta kuch khaas nahin bas halka bukhar hai...shayad thakan ki wajah se. Tum mil lo usse".Nodding swiftly to Choti ma Anandi ran towards her bedroom. A sense of relief dwelled upon her as she saw him napping peacefully with his back rested on the back of the bed and arms curled around her pillow. She smiled at the sweet sight. It had just been a day that they were away but it almost felt like an age. Being careful not to disturb his slumber, she touched his forehead with the back of her hand. His eyelids cracked open feeling her cold hand press against his warm skin. He sighed deeply as his lips curved into an involuntary smile.
"Shiv mujhe lagta hai aapka bukhar badh raha hai...main abhi thermometer le kar aati hoon" she mumbled worriedly and turned to get the thermometer from the drawer when Shiv caught her by wrist.
"Anandi pls do minute mere paas baithiye na" he spoke with such tenderness in his eyes that it made her absolutely worried for him.
"Woh shaadi ke baad pehli baar aapse itni der tak door raha na...bahut ajeeb lag raha tha.Aur phir kaam itna zyaada tha ki aapse theek se baat bhi nahin ho payi. I am sorry Anandi ki achanak se main aise chala gaya. Aapse mil bhi nahin paya" a wave of surprise struck Anandi as she mused at her husband with furrowed brows. There she was worried about him being upset with her for not taking up his calls and he was apologizing from her instead.
"Nahin Shiv sorry to mujhe kahna chahiye ki maine bina soche aapka phone kaat diya. Main na bahut badi bevakoof hoon. Atleast mujhe aapka phone receive to karna chahiye tha chahe main apne dil ki baat baad mein..." she stopped midway nervously realizing this was not the time.
"Dil ki baat..?" his ears suddenly stood up at the unexpected revelation his wife was about to make.
"Han woh kuch batana hai aapko...par abhi nahin. Baad mein bataungi" she blushed fleetingly making him more surprised.
"Anandi sab theek hain na...?"he was getting a bit desperate now.
"Haan Shiv sab theek hai.Aap who sab chodiye na...bas mujhe ye bataiye ki aap mujhse naraaz to nahin hai na.Main aapka phone nahin le payi...aur woh bhi ek baar nahin balki baar baar" she pouted with a guilty-conscious look touching her eyes.
"Nahin Anandi its ok...Choti ma ne bataya ki aap mandir mein thi. Aur main aapse naraaz nahin tha. Bas aapki chinta ho rahi thi ki kahin haveli mein kuch aisa to nahin hua jis se aapko phir se chot pahunchi"
Anandi felt amazed at his words. Did this man ever come in touch with any negativity of the world? His goodness was surely beyond the realms of this earth.
"Shiv aap chinta mat keejiye.Haveli mein sab theek hai.Jagiya wapas aa gaya hai aur dadisa bhi mujhse naraaz nahin hain.Aur aaj to main apne school bhi wapas gayi thi. Maine socha kyun na basant panchami ke mauke pe phir se gaon walon ko padhana shuru karun. Iss se mera bhi man lag jayega aur gaon walon ke saath saath Ganga ko bhi padhne ka mauka mul jayega jis se hum court mein ye kah sakte hain ki Ganga apne pairon pe khade hone ke poori tarah layak hai.Maine theek kiya na Shiv..."
"Aapko lagta hai ki aap kuch Karen aur woh mujhe theek na lage...but I wish main bhi aapke school aa pata...aakhir mujhe bhi to pata chale ke Jaitser ki teacherjee apne students ko kaise padhati hain" he smirked grinningly totally sure the next he would see her running away blushingly.
"Waise CollectorSahab...aapko lagta hai aap wahan honge aur main padha paungi" she answered back leaving him in a fit of unexpected pleasure.
"Anandi...??"
"Ab mun band keejiye...aur tab kholiyega jab main kadha lekar aaungi" giggling she ruffled his hair and placed a soft peck on his forehead. There was something he felt slipping beneath him. Was it the floor or the bed, he thought dumbly as he saw his Mystery Mrs. walk away swaying her cute bottom.
